I just wanted to point out that the GUI backup app has exactly the same problem. I tried to make a backup a coupele of days ago. The GUI tool correctly notices I have a sys-usb and I used it to browse to the directory there to do the backup. All that worked fine. Until I pressed the final button to start the backup, it just failed saying it could not find the directory... I ended up giving up on doing a backup. -- Tom Zander Blog: https://zander.github.io Vlog: https://vimeo.com/channels/tomscryptochannel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
